| When
sunlight enters a room it can deliver an enormous amount of unwanted
heat. Correctly positioned shade sails and shade screens can block out
up to 95% of the suns rays improving energy efficiency and reducing
air-conditioning bills.
Glass transmits heat easily and air conditioning systems have to work
harder to maintain comfortable temperatures. About half of unwanted
summer heat in a house comes from the sun shining through the windows.
Shade sails or solar screens used over north and west facing windows
or skylights can cut heat levels down dramatically. Savings can also
be made on ongoing operating costs as unlike cooling equipment, sails
are durable low maintenance structures with many shade materials guaranteed
for ten years against sun degradation.
When designing new flats or apartment blocks, architects often need
to provide a solution that gives both privacy and shade to each new
dwelling. It can sometimes be more cost effective to design in solar
screens that act as two way privacy devices for windows rather than
re-locate the window, build a wall or plant tree cover. The screens
can help architects of builders meet strict planning regulations on
neighbor’s privacy as well as solving shade requirements at the
same time.
Mulders have been
shade sails and solar screens for over 60 years. They have a Melbourne
based factory and showroom. Their new commercial brochure for shade
can be seen on their website www.mulders.com.au
